Fee splitting is obvoiusly unethical and dangerous to the public. 

In addition, if fee splitting is allowed to continue, it will create a disastrous make-money-at-all-cost environment for dentistry.  It is no secret that younger dentists are facing record financial burdens, and even though they have full intentions of practiciing fairly and ethically, they have to pay loans and feed their families.  If we allow new dentists, or any dentists, to be surrounded by colleagues who split fees or insurance companies who pay to keep patients in-network, then these dentists will be forced to create their own fee-splitting practices just to stay ahead, and patients will suffer.

Lets keep our profession honest and dependent on good dentistry, not Survivor-type alliances.
